Defying Convention, Inventing the Future in Literary Research and Practice

In this volume, major literacy scholars from around the world pay tribute to Ken and Yetta Goodman - renowned and revered worldwide for their pioneering, influential work in the field of reading/literacy education - and offer glimpses of what the future of literacy research and practice might be. The chapters are structured around several themes related to research, practice, and theories of reading and literacy processes that characterize the Goodmans' scholarship. Each chapter reveals how the author's scholarship connects to one or both of the Goodmans' work and projects that connection to the future - what are the implications for future research, theory, practice, and/or assessment? This milestone volume marking the hugely significant work of the Goodmans will be welcomed across the field of literacy education.Anders, Patricia L. is the author of 'Defying Convention, Inventing the Future in Literary Research and Practice', published 2009 under ISBN 9780805863413 and ISBN 0805863419.
